Is Kim Jong-un on the brink of declaring war on the US and South Korea?
Enraged North Korean leader gathers forces on the coastline and 'prepares for fifth nuclear test' after South Korea holds biggest ever military parade alongside US troops


As Kim Jong-un places artillery guns and pursuit planes across the North Korean coastline and threatens to "bury his enemies at sea" this week, his uneasy truce with the South looks more precarious than ever.

The secretive regime's supreme commander is apoplectic with rage after South Korea and its US ally held their biggest ever military drill earlier this month, featuring more than 300,000 troops and a newly formed commando unit, "Spartan 3000," which has been trained to take down key army bases in the North.

And on Monday his anger showed no signs of abating after it emerged that North Korea had fired four short range missiles into the East Sea, a clear provocation towards its southern neighbor which sparked fears that the Korean peninsula has returned to the brink of war.

Tensions between the North and South have been steadily escalating ever since the latter's exercise began, on March 7.

Link is just to give some context.

I'm not one much for saber rattling, but China and Russia's response to N. Korea recently has me a bit concerned here. When the US media tells me to be worried, I laugh. When China and Russia show that they are getting rustled by an "ally", I pay attention.

This got me to thinking about how Kim Jung-un was raised. His father was viewed as a living god.

So fellow War roomers', do you think Kim Jung-un was raised to believe his father was a living god?

Do you think Kim Jung-un actually views himself as a living god?

I guess my question here is what kind of education do you believe the N. Korean leader received?

Was he raised to view the propaganda as just that, a tool to control the masses, or does he actually believe it?
 
North Korea is full of shit and cries to get attention. Their political strategy is to tantrum and try to get concessions.

That is frightening in itself, due to the quote attributed to Einstein saying Insanity is trying the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

Maybe they don't expect a different result. They get aid and stuff.
 
I thought he went to school in Europe which one would think have helped with a grasp of things.

Guess it is not enough to overcome most likely a very bizarre early childhood education he must have had.

Couldn't they just accomplish this by sending 10,000 people to flood China?

I was under the impression here that this balance between N. Korea and China was driven by China's want to keep a few million N. Korean refugees from flooding their border.

I forgot about that. I had heard he received a western education at some point.

Dude, put yourself in his shoes. What would you do differently?

The guy was born into where he is. You literally could not follow any other path without being overthrown and executed. You and every other person would be doing the exact same thing he is.

I really don't think he's an evil guy. He just unfortunately happened to be born into dictator of North Korea instead of Joe Schmoe. He doesn't have any other real options.

Blaming him for the shit he's doing is like blaming a starving kid for stealing food.
 
He probably just wants it all to end. Imagine being him. In fear all day. Of course he won't just be like "Sorry I messed up and starved millions." He'll be hated. So it's gotta play out. He probably hopes he's assassinated.

China provides aid to North Korea, perhaps in exchange for NK not doing that sort of thing and other concessions. If NK actually did that they would lose a bargaining chip.

I'm sure their relationship is a complicated one though.

Interesting take.

Perhaps not being supreme leader was not an option.

I'd maybe pack a suitcase of money and fuck off to some place nice. I dunno.

Actually that would be his brother, who took trips to Disneyland, Kim Jong Un was selected by his father because he is as nutjob and evil as it gets.

Yes there was an option, Kim Jong Un is not the elder brother.

No, he doesnt believes the crap otherwise he would had already gone to war.

He knows he would get his fatass kicked and torn apart by a mob the moment the regime loses power, Gaddafis death would had been a blessing compared to what would remain of him.

I'm pretty sure he is a evil guy, or brainwashed.

I get Realpolitik philosophy, but death camps, forced labor camps, and allowing millions of people to starve for political power, is evil as hell.

which is actually what one of his brothers did I believe, the actual Heir
 
What I want to know is why hasn't he been overthrown yet. Anyone close to him is going to be executed eventually anyway, why not just do everyone else a favor?
 
What ever bubble he was raised in had a terrible hair dresser
